    Hi, so my low beam headlight went out on my trd sport 2021 . I bought the diode dynamics sl1 during black friday to replace it. I've watched countless videos on YouTube to replace it and the setup just looks different. I've kept the headlights stock completely since I bought the truck new (they are LED) so the videos all have the same setup which are different then mine.

    I was wondering if there's something I can do different because that just isn't coming off and looks very different. (I've removed the fluid as well to make it easier)

    OEM led headlights don't have replaceable bulbs, only the halogens do.

    Return the bought bulbs, the setup your TACO has is not a bulb type.

    Check the fuses for the low beam, the engine bay fuse/relay box.

    Dude, there's a tool held inside the fuse/relay box cover. Pull them and replace them.
    Check low beam after.

    Only aesthetic mods so far Leer 180 cap & Clazzio covers on order.
    It's okay to be a bit embarrassed.
    We've all been there.
    At least no one really called you out for being dumb (I'm not saying you were).
